MSNBC | 24 JANUARY 2008 | EEE SUBSTITUTING FOR COUNTERCOUNTERCULTRE

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Debate among the GOP presidential contenders. Live at 9:00pm EST/8:00 CST

[Eric Blair 2084]

Did anyone notice how PMSNBC goes out of their way to pan the camera over to the R candidates while someone else is answering a question to catch them in a Richard Nixon moment of sweat with weird expressions on their faces???

They caught Rudy with the weird eye twitches and Romney with a scowl.

[NordP]

Yep.

[tsmith130]

Paul slams the war.

And water is wet.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Ron Paul is wrong: Saddam Hussein was being aggressive, shooting at our planes. Al Qaeda was in Iraq, too...using their hospitals and had a training base.

Good thing the big 3 are pretty much ignoring Huck and Paul.

[clintonh8r]

Shouldn’t Paulsy be in the RAT debate? I mean, they have an opening for Pet Clown now that Kookcinich dropped out.

[GOPmember]

Russert is in love with this question.

[rintense]

Good Lord, Huck is backtracking now. What happened to the arrogant foreign policy????

[dforest]

No he has big ole Dumbo ears.

[The Forgotten Man]

Easter eggas are laid by the chicken, not planted....

[RatsDawg]

thanks!

[A. Morgan]

BINGO Rudy!

Excellent!

I second that!!

[tillacum]

He is absolutely NUTS! Who in the world is funding him????

[Fred]

The American people, congress and the senate supported the war.

[CASchack]

Williams is a bonehead, deeply in love with himself......Katie Couric with has a little more testosterone.

There, fixed it.

[Terrence DoGood]

Ron Paul is an a##

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Wealthy liberal nuts.

[magritte]

Huckabee is LOST like a frickin’ Easter Egg in this debate...magritte...

[AliVeritas]

Oh Lord... this man never heard of Yasin or Yousef, the 93 bombing, attempted assassination?

So we are to sit on our *sses and get planes flown into buildings (which means that blood and treasure is fine to lose I guess). Let’s just bow to Mecca.

What killed the early Iraq war was the leaking, lying POS press and PCism.

[exit82]

McCain—not a mistake to go to Iraq; mistake was in the handling of it.

Not backing down to Timmy’s rephrasing of question.

Rudy slamming polls and Hillary. Rudy—for the war—not because of polls, but because we are at war.

Ron Paul: it was a very bad idea. Says no WMDs and no Al-Qaeda.

Huckabee: Supported the President when he started war—due to potential WMDs. When Pres acted, country was united. Now easy to second guess.

Romney: Was the right decision, supports it then; supports it now. Petraues/Bush plan is working.

Most important issue is what do we do now. Dems want to run.

Now a break.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

when is ron paul defecting to the other party?

As soon as the spaceship beams him up!
